Don't know if anyone here is into Jane Siberry, but it's been
going around LJ: she's releasing free mp3s of most of her oeuvre. Also she's changed her name to Issa, though no one seems to know if that's a reference to the
excellent haiku-writing guy. Follow the links to check both artists out.
Note- well checking out the Issa site, I noticed the guy who runs it has also written a number of novels, one of which,
Haiku Wars, is narrated by a boddhisatva currently incarnated as a pet ferret belonging to a college prof in New Orleans. Looks good - you can read the opening
here.
